Reception- Holly Class Zoo Trip

Date: 20th Mar 2026 @ 10:51am

Holly Class had a fantastic day out at Blackpool Zoo on a warm, sunny spring day. The children were excited to explore the zoo and learn all about the animals and their habitats. 

One of the highlights was seeing several adorable babies at the zoo — including a baby elephant, two baby orangutans, and a baby anteater riding on its mummy’s back. The class also enjoyed spotting the lions, tigers, elephants, and giraffes as they walked around the zoo. 

Everyone gathered to watch penguin feeding time, which was a big hit! Afterwards, the class headed over to enjoy the fun and impressive sea lion show. 

At lunchtime, the children sat together for a picnic at the zoo, chatting about their favourite animals. With lovely warm sunshine and so many exciting things to see, the whole day was great fun for everyone.
